To celebrate the release of Grayson #1, all the updates for this week will feature Dick Grayson, formerly Nightiwing. Dick is now an agent of Spyral (but really he's a double agent, working for Batman). One of his fellow spies is Helena Bertinelli, who in pre-New 52 continuity was the Huntress. Needless to say there is instant sexual tension between the two.

In The New 52, Dick Grayson & Helena Bertinelli's new partnership gives us some unresolved sexual tension vibes, but in the old, Post Crisis continuity, it was very much resolved. That's right, they had a one night stand in Nightwing & Hunteress #3. Cue the gratuitous (and much appreciated) Dick Grayson underwear shots (and the kinky Batman dream sequence).

Marv Wolfvan & Dan Jurgens had a brief run on Nightwing pre-New 52 & in Nightwing #125, not only did we get the requisite Dick Grayson fanservice. We got 2 shower scenes, a shirtless (naked?) massage scene, & panel of him getting out of clothes. Bless these men for giving the fangirls & fanboys what they want!

One of the most viewed posts on this blog features Nightwing & Starfire in bed, so here they are again all post-coital like in New Teen Titans Vol. 2 #39, in which Dick wakes from having a dream about having the hots for Raven. Awkward.

I love that DC Comics had the guts to show that they had a sexual relationship in bronze age of comics.

In New Teen Titan Vol. 1 #1 (ah the good old days!), Dick Grayson has precient dreams & gets a strange visit from the mysterious Raven, who asks for his help in defeating some unknown evil. And thus, the New Teen Titans are formed! Also, did Dick get dressed in from of Raven?

In New Teen Titans Vol. 2 #12, a freshly showered Dick Grayson gets locked out of his apartment in nothin but a towel, thanks to the ghost of a little girl. Looks like some of his neighbors are enjoying the eye candy.

In the Justice League Episode, "The Terror Beyond ,Part 1", Superman, Wonder Woman & Hawkgirl battle a massive sea-creature that actually manages to wound Superman! The trio head to Atlantis for some answers & after their meeting with Aquaman et al., Supes changes his shirt. (Couldn't you have done that before meeting the Atlantian Royal Family, Clark? Not that I'm complaining, love me some kryptonian beefcake).
